Sampdoria won't block Vincenzo Montella from moving to AC Milan.

The Samp coach is being linked with the job at Milan, where interim boss Cristian Brocchi is set to step aside.

Montella's appointment also has the support of the Chinese investors set to buyout Milan.

Corriere della Sera says Samp are prepared to waive the €1.1 million buyout clause in Montella's deal to smooth negotiations.

Former Empoli coach Marco Giampaolo is also being discussed inside Milan.
